Gary Rhodes shovels snow from around the Samaritan House on Thursday in Kalispell. Rhodes, who is homeless, noticed that the Samaritan House had an extra snow shovel and asked if he could borrow it to see if he could earn some money by shoveling sidewalks. Chris Krager, executive director, was so pleased with Rhodes attitude that he not only agreed to loan him a shovel he said Samaritan House would be his first customer.
